Choosing the Color Mode

You can change the Color Mode to automatically adjust the brightness, contrast, and color, letting you quickly optimize the projected image for various lighting environments. You can also select a different color mode for each input source, which is useful if you view different types of images from different sources. (For example, you might set the S-Video source to Living Room if that source is usually used for watching movies, and set the Video source to Dynamic for playing video games.)

Select the image source you want to adjust, then press the Color Mode button on the remote control. Choose from these settings:

■Dynamic for projecting in bright rooms; images retain their natural color.

■Living Room for projecting in rooms with subdued lighting; images retain their natural color. (Enables the Black and White Image Enhancer feature.)

■Natural for projecting in darkened rooms; increases contrast and makes flesh tones appear more natural.

■Theatre for projecting movies with dark scenes.

■sRGB for projecting computer images that conform to the sRGB color standard.

Note: You can fine-tune the color and other image quality settings using the projector’s menu system (see page 27) or the Cinema Color Editor software (see page 37). You can also create your own customized groups of settings (see page 31).

Displaying and Adjusting the Image

Make sure your video or computer equipment is turned on, then turn on the projector as described on page 17. If necessary, select the correct source to display the image (see page 18).

Note: If you turn on the connected equipment before starting the projector, the projector automatically detects and displays the image. If you turn on the projector first, or have multiple pieces of connected equipment, you may have to select the source manually.

If an image does not appear, check the troubleshooting tips on page 57.
